Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Has there ever been a small detail in a book that made you angry every time it came up? For me it was the "ocean views". Camano Island is not on the ocean, its on the Puget Sound and trust me, they are not the same thing.

My family grew up in poverty so I'm no stranger to it. However, its not something I've had to face as an adult. And I enjoyed reading about it on the other side. I knew we were poor but I never thought about what it meant for my parents.

The insights she gave into the homes she cleaned were pretty funny. She gave some of them names like "the porn house." I'm tempted to drive over there and see how these people live.
